Summary - 1 STANSLEY WOOD COTTAGE DAPPLE HEATH RUGELEY WS15 3PH
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Character cottage with exceptional reservoir views and woodland access.
Panoramic views over Blithfield Reservoir and surrounding woodland
Stansleywood Cottage is a traditional red-brick country home set on a generous, well-screened plot with direct access to woodland and panoramic views over Blithfield Reservoir. The farmhouse-style kitchen with exposed beams and a Rayburn, oak-floored lounge with skylights and French doors, plus ample off-street parking and a converted outbuilding, deliver genuine rural living comfort and character.
The house is arranged over three floors: a ground-floor kitchen/diner, lounge, utility and WC; two bedrooms and a connecting third room on the first floor; and a bright master suite with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite on the second floor. The layout suits families who value country walks, wildlife watching and countryside access while remaining within reasonable reach of local villages and schools.
Notable positives include fast broadband, low crime, a large plot and excellent reservoir and woodland access that support walking, sailing and birdwatching. The shepherd’s hut is an appealing extra with proven income potential but is sold only by separate negotiation. The property is freehold and outside flood risk.
Be aware this is a character cottage with some limitations: total internal area is modest (approx. 917 sq ft) for a three-bedroom three-storey house, and the vertical layout involves multiple staircases. Rural access can mean a single minor approach road and average mobile signal; any substantial extensions or changes to outbuildings would need planning consent. Period homes of this type can also have higher maintenance needs than modern builds.
